As a fan of Dwarf Fortress, glad to see you were able to whip up something in the same spirit in short order. Well done.

I never had fun playing Dwarf Fortress, but had fun playing your game. Maybe I spend 1 hour playing it and still want to play it later. This will be even better with sounds maybeElveFortress.PNG

some sound and music will make it prefect. As a DF player i really like nad the art-style is very nice !

Really good game. i like the graphics. without sound and wit the text UI the feedback of the game is lacking a bit but the simulation seems good. And its fun to watch the elfs do their jobs.

I'm impressed you were able to whip up a DF clone in the short time period. Had lots of fun and played for a while. Couldn't work out what triggered the elves to get angry.

Finally! Dwarf fortress I can actually understand! But really, this game is a great entry and was very fun to play. Not much more to say, really solid game. Good job!

Wow, I'm impressed. Really well done and quite fun. I'm not sure how more is worse, though. More elves = harder to manage?

wow this is great. Simpler than dwarf fortress with some of the same depth. You should be proud of this, good work!

That was a fun time playing it. Little and compact including a lot of fun. Good Job!

well done! I love the look of the game. I did feel a it lost at the start and it took me way longer than it should have to figure out that I could click and drag instead of individually clicking tiles.

I got a bit lost, tho, as to what I could do to prevent those rioting ingrates from spreading their terrorist ideals to my other elfs :D

Good game. We had a similar take on a theme. :slight_smile:

I kept placing doors instead of destroying things though it being the same letter [D], not used to the controls. :smile:

Good job!

Very good game. I really enjoyed it. I like Dwarf Fortress, but I am so much more partial to elves. I couldn't figure out how to keep the chaos contained, if at all possible.

Love this but it could use more !!FUN!! ;)

jake-white 2017-12-05 22:12

Great stuff! I've never actually played dwarf fortress, but I understand the premise and had fun with this :)

Oh, a DF-inspired game, what could be better? And a with a very good implementation!

Amazing that you could put off even a simple DF-type game in such a small period of time. The controls felt weird to me but it is only because of my long use of DF controls. But you got the spirit all right, that's a great achivement!

Wow great fun, as mentioned there's not too much depth considering the limited items to build, but I still had a lot of fun. Great work!
